Flash over Sylacauga (Canada), AL
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Several people in this area of the state are reporting flashing lights in the sky at night since 12/10/17. I have seen them myself and it was weird.. Everyone’s sighting has the same reaction. We all thought our eyes were playing tricks on us at first, but then it kept happening.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #137843). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.
